After making a consensus selection with the fourth overall pick in the draft, the Patriots’ second-round pick wasn’t as easy of a decision.
Patriots executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf shared that there was a bit of a disagreement between head coach Mike Vrabel, vice president of player personnel Ryan Cowden, director of player personnel Matt Groh, and executive Alonzo Highsmith, among others, on who the team should have picked at No. 38 entering Day 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft. However, one of the players the group debated over was drafted before the Patriots were on the clock, helping to clear the runway to select running back TreVeyon Henderson.
